Some ppl think diet and blood type are related I just don't buy it though
Well, kind of. And obviously dietary choices are not in this category.
The benefits of intermittent fasting are well documented. So is cycling ketosis.
Yes blood types are genetic
Taking something as complex as a cell and comparing it to even the finest factories we have, is a lossy metaphor.
But I agree with your second bit. Food replacements seem to actually only be good for fillers and experiments. Also, most of your food replacers are made from foods. You're not replacing food per se, you're just eating with extra steps.
Also, I would argue that brains differ from computers in ways other than complexity. For one computers don't have neurotransmitters.
And yes, it's not just complexity for brains as well.
We're agreeing on most of this.
However, I should also point out that while we only know little about the details, we do know that for cells, some stuff goes in, and some stuff goes out. We don't know all the stuff that goes in for each type of cell, or all the stuff that goes out, or everything that happens in between including all the receptors that regulate, directly or indirectly, that process. When I say that "cells are like mini, highly complex factories" I mean that they take in a bunch of stuff, most of the time does some stuff to them to turn them into other stuff unless it's something that they transport (eg ions), and then pumps them out. Everything, from drugs to nutrition, we know about the cell is based on this model. So unless someone here can come up with a much better theory out there (life force? Chi?) that would explain the mechanisms of drugs and nutrition that we know so far, plus extras, I really cannot see how we can jump out of this model of "stuff comes in, stuff comes out".
